Pretty great fight so far imo.
This is a much, much, much better fight than I expected.
Hunt does not look good in rd3... this is discouraging...
the Monster logo in the middle of the octagon must be lewis's kryptonite. Every time he gets near it, he immed stops and moves away from it. Refuses to take the center of the octagon even when he has the chance.
a couple more leg kicks and lewis is going to quit on his stool
some towel chick just had to help lewis get off his stool lol
I am not comfortable with how much trouble Hunt had there.
That's basically how I aw this going tbh. How was he an underdog?Quote:

Pretty sure Lloyd assumed Lewis would be able to land enough 3 pointers from mid-court to fend off Hunt's serve.
Derek Lewis needs to change his lifestyle. The guy throws hard but he can't be walking around near 300lbs and have the cardio to compete with the best in the heavyweight division.

Not that it matters because he retired tonight (according to him).
Imagine if his cardio was better even 30% better tho.Quote:

I agree with you on the HW division having just a few good fighters and then a few who we thought might be good but are cheaters.
As for Lewis retiring I'm not sold on that and he might be just taking a long break unless he has something else career wise lined up in life. He said "probably" my last fight and when I hear someone say that it usually means I'm taking a break unless someone shows me good money first.
Also he just got his aaaassssss kicked.. we saw plenty of Randy Couture retirement speeches after having his head turned inside out by Liddell, so yeah I mean, given how little the UFC actually pays these days, I doubt hes got enough to start a family or anything, so Im inclined to agree.
yeah, these guys either get offered business opportunities that most likely will fail so they will be back (For example Anthony Johnson). Or the just retire in the heat of moment and then realize they have no other options. I mean wtf is Lewis going to do ? I guess he could be a bouncer or personal bodyguard.Quote:

Lewis has always said he was only in this for money and had no plans to make this his life. He used to say once he got his house money he was gone, and never had any interest in titles. Well, he already got his house, he's getting married, and he doesn't care for fighting for a living.
He may fight again if he gets a great paycheck, but this ain't a guy who has fighting in his blood or anything like that.
Meanwhile this happened at Glory 42.

I feel like somehow, Glory's "modified" kickboxing rules made this scenario happen. Like by making this not-quite-kickboxing they end up with a not-quite-educated audience who doesnt quite know how to act.
Ohhhh Grigorian is Armenian.
Well that explains it.
Its great how like every mainstream press article describes it as a 'sucker punch'.
the fact fatotine loves the ufc this much i cant
like you wearing the shit out of that rockstar energy xxl shirt plus the hat
can we do 5 pages on how dumb you faggots are for not watching kingdom
show literally got cancelled cuz of you trash people
6/17/17 11:00am MMA Props Fighting 1013 Correia / Holm draw +5500* vs Fight not a draw
going to try to pin this onto a parlay once the full card lines drop:
Sat 6/17 1001 Bethe Correia +450
1002 Holly Holm -600
bottom line, holly is one dimensional and inconsistent. i dont expect to win either of those but the odds are right to gamble.
reports are saying that Bellator has signed Goldie and Mauro too do commentary

And we have a date, giddy to stack on Floyd (and the over rounds)
Apparently Matt Hughes and his wife were in a truck that got hit by a train. Not looking good but details very sketchy right now, he had to be airlifted to hospital with head trauma.

The police get there while he's waiting on a ride to pick him up and basically threaten to arrest him if he won't go to the hospital. He goes and they do x-rays that show a broken neck. He ended up in a halo for 3 or 4 months.
But the train hit the passenger side not driver side. If he really wanted to off himself, that seems like pretty poor planning.Quote:

I get it. Pour your heart and soul into the UFC for many years and then one cocky Irish bloke comes along and ruins it all.

I with you on that. Years of getting kicked in the head did him in.
Now that a date is set for the Mayweather fight, when is Connor gonna defend his UFC Lightweight Title?
I do like the notorious but the fact that he has never defended a title is pretty weak to me
Sorry sonatine
that.... was not the strategy i'd have preferred she employ.
